If you want a constant reliable power increase and you have intake and exhaust sorted it may be worth looking into camshafts. Schrick being a very reputable company.

Ok well I have ecu remap in mind any other ideas how to improve?

8 hours ago
Hmmm. Sounds like a fuel pressure regulater replacement. Can you be more specific? "Power boost valves "?
8 hours ago
No it is due a service yeah I'm going to after I have done few bits heard that the far power boost valves are good?

Has your car been fully serviced with quality parts. Sounds daft but it is the first step :) How about a remap?
